I've been watching the 4 part documentary '10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki' recently and found it interesting and enlightening. (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/program/video/10...)

The extent to which Studio Ghibli is Hayao Miyazaki was not clear to me. Despite the hundreds of people involved the degree to which he is the origin of art, ideas, quality, and drive is astounding.

I think we should give Isao Takahata some credit too though. Grave Of The Fireflies is quite famous and that’s all Takahata. And Miyazaki has said that Takahata was very influential on him.

Undoubtably the hundreds of artists and producers working on Ghibli are extraordinarily talent. But talent isn’t genius. But I’ve come to realize talent isn’t brilliance.
